Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 27,473. Klingele, A. Nov. 25. Chaff, cutting.-Relates to a chaff-cutter provided with means for cutting litter straw. In the ordinary form, shown in Fig. 1, the feedrolls h are driven from the fly-wheel b by a toothed wheel a on the fly-wheel shaft c, a wheel k<1> with several concentric toothed rims thereon, and wheels k. When it is desired to cut litter straw, the wheel a is placed in the space between two toothed rims on the wheel k<1>, and the feed-rolls are rotated by a crank d on a shaft e having a wheel f to engage the wheel k. The shaft e may be dispensed with, and the crank d fitted on an extension of the lower feed-roller shaft, which may be provided with a toothed wheel gearing with the toothed edge of the fly-wheel. In a modification, Fig. 6, toothed wheels E, slidable upon a shaft D driven from the fly-wheel shaft, are geared separately with wheels H on a shaft G, which drives, through wheels J, J<1> the feed-roll shaft K, and through wheels L the roll shaft O. A wheel S on the shaft K gears with a wheel R<1> on a short shaft R, which has a wheel Y gearing with the toothed fly-wheel B, and which is mounted on a rotatable bearing and provided with a handle. For chaff-cutting, the bearing is rotated to disengage the wheel Y from the fly-wheel B, and the feed-rolls are driven from the shaft C; for litter straw, the fly-wheel and feed-rolls are driven through the wheels R', Y, the latter being brought into engagement with the fly-wheel.

Granted: 1912-04-01
Abstract: 8177. Johnston, J., and Womersley, A. April 1. Speed, varying; eccentric-actuated pumps. - The fuel and water pumps g, i of a semi-flash boiler for motor-vehicles &c. are operated together by an eccentric j mounted on one of the free elements k of a differential gear k, l, m, which is driven from the engine through the element m. The other free element operates the eccentric n of a regulating-pump o or other variable resistance adapted to oppose the pumps g, i. The fuel is supplied to the pump g from a closed tank t, in which air is pumped to maintain a pressure above the oil. The tank supplying the water is shown at z. The delivery valve w of the pump o is controlled by a spring, the pressure of which can be varied at will. In operation, the pumps g, i continue to work, and the pump o remains stationary as long as the pressure in the boiler is less than the load on the valve w. When the boiler pressure exceeds this load, the resistance to working of the pumps g, i is greater than that of the pump o; the pumps g, i then remain stationary while the pump o operates.

Abstract: 23,789. Oliver, C. R. April 26, 1912. Actuating.-In clockwork mechanism for operating gas - valves and electric switches, tappets driven by the clock arbor 1 are arranged at predetermined times to actuate an elbow lever 28, pivoted at 29. The tappets consist of pins 8, 12, 21 on disks 7, 11, 20, Fig. 3, respectively, the disks forming flanges of co-axial sleeves connected by pins and slots with adjustable pointers 16, 18, 19 arranged on a clock dial 27. The lever 28 thereby lifts a lever 38 against the action of a spring 42, disengaging the end 37 thereof from a notched wheel 33 on the spindle 34 of a second or gas valve operating train, a secondary stop pin on the spindle 39 also being disengaged. When the operating-tappet allows the levers to fall back, a pallet 30 on the arm of the lever 38 releases the fly-wheel of the valve-operating train, which is then free to actuate the valve, until stopped by the lever 38 engaging the next notch in the periphery of the disk 33. By means of an adjustable plate 60, any one of the notches on the disk 33 may be covered up and rendered inoperative. The dial has an aperture 25 to permit of the introduction of the winding-key.
